Anybody with half a brain can install disc brakes and rotors on a car. There is no fault in him doing it on his own.

In this current situation, however, I would take it in. It has gone beyond what he can do on his own.

Apparently not, Im sure he has half a brain, why would you insult him like that. Yes brakes are not difficult but clearly there is a way to make things worse.

It is definitely a problem with the ABS, that will also set the TCS light. Check the wires to the wheel speed senosrs, when you zip tied the calipers back you may have pulled one of the wheel speed sensors wires out of place.

I doubt its a broken tone ring or the problem would have been there before the brake replacement.

I had a Nissan Maxima with a similar problem. The problem was associated with the ABS system. At slow speeds, when applying the brake the ABS system would kick in because the speed sensor thought the brakes were locking up....dirt on the lense of the sensor, I guess. Maxima problem and design issue but zero recalls. The friendly people as Nissan would fix the problem for 4000 bucks. Anyway the cleaning the sensor lense would help the issue but would not eliminate it. If it goes on a long time, you will screw up other components that you don't want to replace. At least not in this lifetime.

THIS. looks like you will have to take it in to a shop with computer diagnostic equipment

You are haivng problems with your speed sensor. Either when replace that stuff you messed it up or some vehicles require that sensor to be realigned when the rotors are replaced.
You will have to take it to a pro.

So I'm reusing this thread to ask a question about a car I'm looking at buying. It's a 2009 Subaru Forrester 2.5T (turbo) with 29K miles. Now, I was about ready to start talking numbers when the manager comes out and show me the carfax that says:
